Staples...the steering stopper!
I recently found this out by mistake. Read on.
I run my Bit around college, and the computer lab is our normal racetrack (when the EMI from the computers doesn't interfer with the bits too badly) and we would occasionally notice that the bits would stop steering one by one.
We would then of course take apart the bodies and check the coild and the wires, and all was good. we would make sure that the steering magnet didn't come detached from the steering arm I never thought to turn the car over in the first place...DUH!
The steering magnet was strong enough to pick up a single staple. This in turn would completely kill the steering. We also found that small pieces of metal had the same effect.
This has now become a common problem; by the end of the day, the bits usually have a fair amoutn of metal on the bottom that has to be removed with a piece of masking tape.
Does anybody else know how I can shield the bottom of my bit?
